Good to Know
Safety information:
Safety is central to every LLV Divers experience. Every new guest completes a check dive before joining the regular dive schedule. This allows our team to assess buoyancy, equipment familiarity, air consumption and comfort in the water, and helps us match each diver with the most appropriate sites and group. Fun dives operate with a maximum of four divers per guide, while PADI courses are limited to two students per instructor. All instructors and Divemasters are permanent, full-time members of our team; we do not use freelance dive professionals. Emergency oxygen and comprehensive first-aid equipment are carried aboard every dive boat. We also have an AED at the resort, conduct regular Emergency First Response training for our staff, and are located approximately five minutes from Puerto Galera’s hyperbaric chamber. Each boat operates with two dedicated crew members who assist divers and provide our full valet diving service. Divers must provide evidence of certification for recreational dives and complete the required medical questionnaire before participating. Medical clearance may be required if any relevant health conditions are declared. Dive sites and schedules may be adjusted according to tides, currents, weather and diver experience. Guests should also allow an appropriate surface interval before flying after diving.
Other activities offered by the center:
In addition to daily recreational diving and PADI courses, we offer: Discover Scuba Diving experiences for beginners Bubblemaker experiences for children aged eight and above Dusk dives to observe Mandarin fish Night and sunrise dives DPV diving, courses and underwater scooter experiences Underwater-photography dives and training Macro and muck-diving excursions Two- and three-dive Verde Island trips Three-dive Verde Island excursions with BBQ lunch Snorkelling trips Island hopping and beach excursions The resort team can also arrange inland tours, waterfalls, sightseeing and other local activities. Guests can enjoy the resort’s 24-hour swimming pool, air-conditioned gym, in-room spa services, rooftop dining and 24-hour restaurant, bar and room service. These options also make Lalaguna Villas suitable for couples, families and groups that include non-divers.
Opening days and annual closure:
LLV Divers is open seven days a week throughout the year, with no scheduled annual closure. Regular dives depart daily at 8:00 am, 10:30 am, 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm, followed by a Mandarin fish dive at dusk at 5:30 pm or a night dive at 6:30 pm. Diving is available year-round, although schedules and individual sites may occasionally be adjusted because of weather, sea conditions, currents or safety considerations. Verde Island trips operate regularly, subject to suitable conditions and minimum participant numbers.
We recommend booking courses, equipment requirements and Verde Island excursions in advance, particularly during busy periods. Certified divers should bring their certification card or digital certification details. Dive insurance is strongly recommended. Rental equipment is professionally maintained, with premium Scubapro equipment and Shearwater dive computers available. Our air-conditioned camera room provides a comfortable, dedicated space for underwater photographers to prepare, charge and maintain their equipment. Our reservations, front-office, restaurant and room-service teams are available 24 hours a day. Whether travelling alone, as a couple, with a family or as part of a dive group, guests have one point of contact for accommodation, diving, meals, activities and transfers.

Friendly and professional staff. Rooms are very nice and filled with all the things you may have forgotten at home. Come to LLV for a smooth, stress free vacation. Biggest pool in PG. A well equipped small gym, and the atmosphere in the bar/restaurant is very nice. Good vibes and good people. The rooms here are nicer than other places I’ve stayed here in Sabang, and the diving here in PG is phenomenal. Healthy reefs and the LLV dive team will point out some of the unique creatures this area offers. I’d happily stay here again. Hopefully for longer next time.

We just completed our second visit to Lalaguna Villas, and this time we brought friends with us. By the second day of our stay, we were already making plans to return again next year. This visit, we requested and were granted the same room that we stayed in last year because of the awesome view from the terrace and the layout of the room was perfect for our needs. Every member of the staff was very attentive and friendly, and the food at the restaurant was the best. As for the diving, it would be hard to beat the local dive sites for variety of dives, including wrecks, reefs, muck and walls. Great for photographers such as myself or just gazing at the variety of fish, corals, sponges, and invertebrates. The divemasters are very knowledgeable about the local sites and excellent at locating and pointing out critters hiding in the rocks and reefs. As for the dive crews, the service was top-notch. They placed our gear on the boat, ready to don and splash, and when the dives were over, they took the gear in, washed it, and prepared it for the next dive. It is rare to receive this kind of service at any dive operation. As far as logistics of our travel to Lalaguna from the US, we found the communications we received from the resort to be very comprehensive. All of the questions we asked were responded to in a timely manner and, in general, we experienced excellent communication which resulted in flawless travel from Manila to the resort. We didn't want to leave when the time came for us come home, but it is nice to know that we will be going back to Lalaguna again next year.

If you want to go Scuba diving and are looking at this place, then book! Fantastic staff, friendly and welcoming. We did the open water diving course and Liam was great. Everything explained and demonstrated clearly and effectively. I don’t normally make plans to return to the same place but this place was amazing. The rooms were neat, clean and comfortable. The restaurant/bar had plenty of options and all very well priced. Staff can arrange transport as well, taking a lot of the hassle off. Can’t recommend enough.

I don’t even know where to start—words truly can’t express how incredible this scuba diving experience was! Jessica (Ja) is a phenomenal, beautiful, and knowledgeable instructor whose patience put me completely at ease for my very first deep-sea dive. Magic Mike was equally amazing, looking after my brother’s dive with such a great personality. Our hotel was another highlight; the 'ecosystem' and vibe made it one of the best stays we’ve ever had. A huge thank you to Anne for making everything so seamless, from booking our tuk-tuks to guiding us on the best routes to Puerto Galera. We’re taking home memories that will last a lifetime!

Stayed here 5 nights on a dive trip. First of all the view from the balconies is amazing. Great location close to Sabang beach if you need anything but peaceful and beautiful. Rooms are great. Restaurant is very solid for the area. Only 1-2 that arguably are better. Recommend the shrimp quesadilla. Staff is amazing. Had a few situations in logistics and minor medical thing I had to deal with and staff handled it amazingly.
